Personal: Married to Elizabeth (she got me running in 2003). We have three boys, Lucas (12) , Sam (8) and Ollie (5).
Many years ago, I read that the AVERAGE male is capable of a 2:40 marathon. I decided to test that theory. I began running in 2003 with Top of Utah as my first marathon (4:24). I need 3 more minutes.

| | Run from house to Avenues then up City Creek Canyon. Nice cool day for a run. I felt a little soreness from the 5K race yesterday, but nothing to stop me from getting the mileage in. | | Add Comment |
| | House to Sugar House park in the rain. It took awhile to get warmed up, but eventually got into a good groove. I have to fly to Lubbock today, so I hope to find time this week to run in Texas. | | Add Comment |

| | Another run around Lubbock, Texas. Yesterday I felt a cold coming on (sore throat). I ran slow yesterday and again today to hopefully recover quickly. | | Add Comment |
| | Speed work at East High School. Another late night run after dinner. I ran a 1 mile warm up and 1 mile cool down with 10 x 800 with 200 recovery in-between. In theory, these 800 should predict your marathon pace. I did this workout before Boston this year and averaged about 2:58. Today, I averaged about 2:48. I ran a 3:07 at Boston and had a major "boink!" I hope a sub 3:00 is my future at Tuscon this December. This was my last track workout until the marathon. I have a 22-miler on Saturday that should test my endurance level. I've been running 7 x 200 on a weekly basis to help my speed, but my mileage is down which may hurt my endurance. | | Comments(4) |
| | Last long run up and down Emigration Canyon. I got started at 6:00 AM and did 7 miles before meeting the group at 7 AM at Ruth's. I had time to change shoes and take a Gui. Ran 15 with the group at a slow pace early, then cruised the last 5 miles at sub 6:30 pace downhill toward Ruth's. I felt excellent the entire run and could have easily done another 10K. It was a nice run compared to the 20-miler I had a few weeks ago at JRP. | | Comments(4) |
